Article does not seem to understand what Booring Company trying to achieve. It does not even seem try to understand.
We all know it's very popular to love Elon Musk. But it's generally more attractive to one-up those who do and hate Elon and his "fans".
As a disclaimer: I am in the wagon of "please leave this guy alone so he can do his thing, whatever it might turn out to be".
And I do not see any value in this article.
Booring Co. is about creating rich network of very small tunnels _to solve urban traffic,_ whereas article only talks about creating huge tunnels for longer distance transportation.
Article seem to be making a comparison while things it compares aren't in the same category nor does they try to solve the same problem to begin with.
Incoherent and poorly thought-out", if not straight clickbait.
The article only briefly mentions the Boring company and Elon Musk, because it's mainly about how cool these large tunnel are and how the machines are large enough to allow multimodal transportation in a tunnel. The comparison to Musk is that his company is making a bet the rest of the industry has rejected. They are all building large, versatile tunnels. Musk is betting that small tunnels will be the future. Who knows?
What I got out of the article was definitely not an "anti-Musk" vibe. Not even super critical of the Boring company approach. It was more of a "modern marvels" type of article.
